Take this Feis and Shove it!

All of us have been to one Feis or another at which we swore, “I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never dance here again. No, nor any of my folk. As God is my witness, I'll never dance at this Feis again”.

Or words to that effect...

Now there’s a song to express your frustration.

For the full effect, crank up the speakers and click here for some cheesy accompaniment.

Take This Feis and Shove It!

Take this Feis and shove it
I ain’t dancing here no more
I’ve had it to here with slippery stages
And long waits for scores
The Syllabus said it starts at eight thirty
I didn’t dance till four
Take this Feis and shove it
I ain’t dancing here no more.

Parquet floors are great for weddings,
But not for the treble reel
Falling on my butt in slip jig
Somehow lost its fun appeal
Crowded hallways and nasty restrooms
And half-hour lines to go pee
Take a good look at my face
It’s the last you’ll see of me

Take this Feis and shove it
I ain’t dancing here no more
I’ve had it to here with slippery stages
And long waits for scores
The Syllabus said it starts at eight thirty
I didn’t dance till four
Take this Feis and shove it
I ain’t dancing here no more.

I’ve been Feising seven long years now
And seen all that could be seen
Seen some good and seen some bad and
A bunch that were in between
But I’ve never seen a group of people
Quite like your volunteers
They redefined a word like “nasty”
I won’t be back next year

Take this Feis and shove it
I ain’t dancing here no more
I’ve had it to here with slippery stages
And long waits for scores
The Syllabus said it starts at eight thirty
I didn’t dance till four
Take this Feis and shove it
I ain’t dancing here no more.

Take this Feis and shove it
I ain’t dancing here no more
I’ve had it to here with slippery stages
And long waits for scores
The Syllabus said it starts at eight thirty
I didn’t dance till four
Take this Feis and shove it
I ain’t dancing here no more.

Take this Feis and shove it
I ain’t dancing here no more.
